You reverting this patch:

commit 69a23a608eea59624b2f37ab424e0f42b3da5baf
Author: Dmitry Timoshkov <dmitry(a)codeweavers.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 23 20:33:06 2006 +0800

     gdi: Use "MS Sans Serif" as default sans serif font, not Arial.


Any reasons why? Also AFAIK native does not use Arial for any part of the 
interface.
